"This neighborhood is a place where you can make the change within your self, in your neighborhood, by rolling up your sleeves."

Randy HowellRandy Howell, 51, lives on Reservoir Street in Reservoir Hill, Baltimore.
He purchased his home in 2000, but, as he'll tell you, he was not a newcomer to the neighborhood.
Randy is the unofficial neighborhood handyman, always showing up with some extra tools or just a truck bed to haul materials.
Most recently, Randy has joined other residents who have been teaching themselves to run a Bobcat excavator as part of a Reservoir Hill Improvement Council Green Team initiative to convert the vacant block across from Whitelock Community Farm into a community park.
